Electrolysis

Electrolysis

 Elecrolysis is a process of deposition of electrolytes by electric current. When electric current pass through any electrolytes the constituents of electrolytes decomposed. Just for example if electric current pass through the Hydrochloric acid solution then hydrochloric acid becomes decomposed and produces hydrogen and chlorine nutran molecule. This process of decomposition of hydrochloric acid is termed as electrolysis.

 For a better understanding about electrolysis there needs a clear conception about electrolytes.

Electrolytes

 Electrolytes are these substance that have capability to conduct electric current by forming ions in solution. The examples of most common electrolytes are sodium chloride and hydrochloric acid.

 The compound that do not conduct electricity in aolution is called non electrolytes. The examples of non electrolytes are sugar and alcohol.

Few terms concerned with electrolysis is given bellow

 The important term concerned with electrolysis is Cathode, Anode, Electrolytic cell

 Electrolytic cell

Electrolytic cell is the framework where the electrolysis is happend. Simply to say phyaical place where the electrolytes was stored for electrolysis process. An electrolytic cell consists of its main parts Electrolytes, Cathod and Anode.

Cathode

 Cathode is a metal rod dipped into electrolytic cell thats another part is connected with external currents negatively charged parts. In an electrolytisis process cation migrate to the cathode and ultimately it accept electron from cathode and convert into nutral atom.

Anode

 Anode is the metalic rod of any electrolytic cell that is connceted with the positive part of electric current. It attract anion to itself in the process of electrolysis.
